Parents as Partners in Career Education
Research has shown that parents have the strongest influence over their children's choices regarding post secondary education and careers.
Children need guidance to help choose the best educational and career paths.
Home is a child's first workplace--where responsibility, decision making, team work, problem solving and other employability skills can be reinforced beginning at a young age.
